【摘要】目的探讨外科手术治疗原发性肝癌致阻塞性黄疸的方法及疗效。方法自1991年1月至2001年12月期间我院对17例原发性肝癌致阻塞性黄疸的患者进行外科手术治疗，其中行肝叶切除及胆总管切开取癌栓者14例,行同种异体原位肝移植术3例。结果患者平均生存时间为8个月,最长24个月。结论外科治疗原发性肝癌致阻塞性黄疸明显改善了患者生活质量,延长了生存时间。
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical significance of promoter hypermethylation of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) in cholangiocarcinoma. MethodsPromoter methylation status of MGMT gene and expression of MGMT protein were detected in cholangiocarcinoma by methylationspecific PCR and immunohistochemical staining, respectively. ResultsAberrant methylation of MGMT gene was detected in 17 patients (47.2%). Twentyone cases showed negative immunoreactivities. Of 21 patients with negative MGMT expression, 14 patients had aberrant methylation of MGMT gene. In 15 patients with positive MGMT expression, aberrant methylation of MGMT gene was only found in three cases. There was a negative correlation between promoter methylation status of MGMT gene and the expression of MGMT protein (rs=-0.816, Plt;0.05). Promoter methylation status of MGMT gene was related to depth of invasion, degree of differentiation, and TNM stage (Plt;0.05), but not to age of patient, gender, pathological type, and lymph node metastasis (Pgt;0.05). ConclusionsHypermethylation of MGMT promoter is a frequency molecular event in cholangiocarcinoma and may be involved in carcinogenesis. Methylation status of MGMT gene may be used to evaluate malignant degree of cholangiocarcinoma.
